Noike is the person behind Z in Tokimi-sama's realm.  For some blasted reason, I have
a BAD habbit of finding cool things at work, then forgetting to locate them when I
get home.  However, someone grabbed a screen capture of the scene in question and

lightened it up.  One could clearly tell the woman behind Z was Tokimi-sama.  Now
does she remember her time in Tokimi-sama's realm?  I think not based on the latest
episode.  However, we'll have to wait and see how things play out.

*nods*  I think the number of years between Ryoko's attack and Aeka's escape (thanks
to Tsunami) was increased slightly from what had been previously reported.  But when
Aeka left, no one (save Tsunami) would know where Yosho was, or even if he was
alive.  The last Aeka knew of Airi was that she was supposed to marry someone from
her own world and Aeka didn't know Yosho and Airi had been involved.  Poor girl.
